Mono Outpaces Java In Linux Desktop Development
dp619 writes "Mono, a framework based on Microsoft technology, has become more popular for Linux desktop applications than Java, but recent changes could strengthen Java's hand, SD Times is reporting. The story also touches on the failure of Linux distros to keep pace with Eclipse."
YOSPOS BITCH
Java is dying. Python is good so is C#. I love attributes, LINQ, Master Pages, etc.
I'm not an MS fan, but C# is just so nice.
For the record I'm writing this on my debian sid laptop using Iceweasel.
I think the problem is that while Java is cross-platform, it's apps have always been treated like second-class citizens on Windows and Mac platforms.
It's even worse on Linux. Java's cross-platform features are a failure on all platforms.
If anyone needed any proof that Slashdot's moderation system is a failure, here it is. One of the few "+5 Informative" posts, and it's a baseless attack using the words "shill" and "FUD".
Programming is fun
absolutely, that's why people code in C#. Nothign to do with professionalism, fgood code, efficiency, and al the other bits and pieces that have been forgotten in today's rush for "developer productivity" (at the expense of end-user productivity, of course).
that's why, for example, Tomboy leaks memory like a sieve. Who cares, its fun to code note-let apps in the new language that doesn't have memory leaks anymore.
Or as this blog note says: I have to admit, however, that I admire Jo's sincerity when he makes this point: it's not the users who want it, it's the developers. It can't be denied that .NET was indeed instrumental in the development of Gnote
But who cares about the users nowadays?
linux is for dick smoking faggots. go take another dick up your ass, faggots. i hope you get aids and die.
I love the people who disagree == troll.
C# is VB with C syntax. VB is Microsoft's bastardized version of Java. Both are useful for what I do and neither are ideal. I don't use C# because me and my manager are the only programmers in the office that would be able to read the code. So I use VB.NET and manage to accomplish what needs to be done. At home I use C++. Objective C and a myriad of other languages including python which is an abomination and it's inventor should be shot. I mean who ever heard of a modern object oriented language where the easiest way to define a new variable is to misspell an old one.
Why bother
So, your point is that any death will do, as long as it includes death. Slow and painful might provide a nice bonus, but the main thing is it needs to be killed until it is DEAD.
Beg to differ, Have you ever used either language extensively? I have. I've also used every version of Java since 1.1. Don't tell me I don't know shit young one.
Why bother
And now the Linux community is actually starting to willingly include a Microsoft patent mess right into the heart of distributions
False. There is no patent mess. But I guess even the legally binding "community promise" isn't enough evidence for the determined haters, eh?
Visual IRC: Fast. Powerful. Free.
What about factoring in the size of all the malware that can now conveniently run on two platforms now (Windows/.Net and Linux/Mono)
> I never get why people cares so much about what languages other people like to code in
People care also whether you donate money to terrorists or not. Coding with .NET is a similar thing, you help Microsoft when you do it. If no-one uses .NET it will just become a failure and be forgotten. If everyone uses it, it will become Internet Explorer 6.0.
